Our next pack meeting will be on WEDNESDAY, Nov. 19. (This is due to the PARCC meeting at Shongum on the 17th). We will still start at 7:00 on Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Our theme this month is Citizenship. As the boys arrive they will be making cards for the soldiers oversees.

The Tigers and Wolves are earning canned goods from their family by doing a good turn or a chore to help out around the house. Those items will be brought to the pack meeting and we will be able to see how productive and helpful these scouts have been.

The Bears, Webleos I and Webelos II (Now Arrow of Light Scouts) are being asked to bring one or two of the following items to send to Kandahar, Afghanistan to thank the soldiers for all their hard work and sacrifices they make to protect us and our freedoms.

Gummy bears

Thank you to all who have signed up to help out the pack!! If you are still in need of a new t-shirt, Erika Barninger is our new t-shirt coordinator. She can be reached at spiritwear@pack53rtnj.org. If your child comes to whisper the word pilgrim to me, he will receive a reward.

We hope to see you at the meeting. We know it may be inconvenient with the changed date, but the committee felt that Nov. 24 would be too late with Thanksgiving that week.
